Important Announcement
It is with mixed emotions that we announce the upcoming closure of our mobile petting zoo operations. Over the past 17 years, rising operational costs—particularly feed and fuel—have made it increasingly difficult to sustain our mobile services at the standard you deserve.
What This Means for Upcoming Events:
2026 Season: We will fully honor all current bookings and finish out the remainder of this year’s events as scheduled.
As of January 1, 2027: Our mobile petting zoo services will officially close.
What began as a personal hobby grew into a vital part of my life. This business supported my family through significant milestones—allowing me to provide extra care for my disabled son after leaving the traditional workforce and giving me comfort through profound loss. Most importantly, it allowed me to share my passion for agriculture and livestock education with countless children and families across our community.
Please note that we are not selling our business or equipment. As we transition back to homesteading, we are keeping the door open to potential future possibilities. For now, my focus will shift toward spending more time with my young children.
Words cannot express how grateful I am for the trust and support you have shown us over the last 17 years. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of this journey.
Thank you,
Challis Hopwood owner of Funni Bunni Farms
